Prabhuji's Gifts Stick Incense Ajna Chakra Concentration & Intuition Jasmine & Tulasi stick incense blend of jasmine and Tulasi has been mixed together and rolled by hand, following the ancient wisdom to open the third eye and balance the Ajna Chakra by facilitating concentration and intuition. Continued use of this resin incense assists in balancing and opening the chakra, promoting a balanced personality, the ability to concentrate, intuition and spiritual vision.

Ajña Chakra

The Ajña Chakra, the sixth energetic center, is situated in the space between the eyebrows. It is highly regarded as the third eye, or the eye of Lord Shiva. It is the center that connects us to the mind element. Prabhuji explains that when this chakra functions well, it is expressed in the ability to concentrate, a balance between the poles of the personality, consciousness of the soul, personal knowledge, intuition, spiritual experiences, thinking power, and a markedly strong will power. On the physical level it manifests as balance in the paired organs, such as the ears, eyes, and kidneys.

Chakra

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "disc". Everyone has seven main chakras, or energetic centers, located in their astral body - connecting the physical and astral worlds - and cannot be seen with the physical eye. Each one corresponds to a different level of cosmic creation and is related to a specific plane of consciousness and element, which provides its characteristics. "They are swirling metaphysical vortexes, transformers of energy both from as well as toward the astral body," Prabhuji wrote in his book Kundalini Yoga. They are not typically seen, yet they exist. They are in your body, yet not its physical form. They are sometimes blocked, yet they can be opened and transcended. There are 88,000 of them, but 7 are of utmost importance. The main chakras are the muladhara at the base of the spine, the svadhishthana just above it, the manipura above the navel, the anahata near the center of the heart, the vishuddha at the base of the throat, the ajna at the third eye, and the sahasrara at the top of the head.

They are more subtle than the parts of our physical body and cannot be seen with the physical eye but their function, or improper function, is manifested in how we feel and behave. When one's awareness to them is heightened, their existence becomes even more evident. Opening of the chakras is felt in our psychology, our character, and our attitudes. Human beings generally only open first chakra, which is the highest within the animal kingdom. This is one reason why most of society is focused on satisfying one's basic and essential necessities like sleeping, eating, defending oneself and maintaining a sex life.

Chakra Line

Prabhuji's Gifts Chakra Stick Incense offers you seven blends of supreme fragrances developed according to ancient wisdom with the intention to open and stimulate each one of the seven main energetic centers located in our astral bodies. Chakra Stick Incense mixtures have been infused with sacred mantras for years. Continued use of these specially designed blends helps strengthen qualities related to each chakra, such as serenity, creativity, self-confidence, sensitivity, wisdom, concentration and enlightenment. This line of incense is designed to clean, balance and awaken one's energetic centers to elevate the body, mind and spirit. Each specific fragrance has been tested by Prabhuji during meditation and chosen for its inherent energetic quality: to help open individual chakras and promote spiritual, physical and emotional health.

Each Chakra Incense fragrance has a distinct purpose to help activate and open a specific energetic center. The science of Kundalini teaches that when we want to encourage certain strengths or virtues, let's say for example to increase our sensitivity towards others or improve our ability to concentrate, there are specific aromas that can help us.

Their Story: Much More Than A Business…

The history of Prabhuji's Gifts is so unique that those who purchase their fragrant and meditative products enjoy learning about the people who manufacture them. No ordinary business, Prabhuji's Gifts was founded by H. H. Avadhuta Sri Bhaktivedanta Ramakrishnananda Babaji Maharaja, or "Prabhuji," as he is called out of love and respect.

As a child, Prabhuji loved to quietly watch his shamanic grandmother, to whom he had a deep connection, as she recited prayers, offered incense, and burned herbs. Though he did not understand why she was mixing oils with resins, boiling petals, and lighting candles, the aromatic mixture of the fragrances penetrated his heart. Upon questioning, he learnt that her unusual occupation was to help people with their various needs such as peace, love, friendship, health, and wealth.

Throughout the years, Prabhuji passionately explored the power that fragrances have to materialize intentions, inspire emotions, and improve one's well-being: the scent of love, the aroma of attraction, the aura of health, the smell of wealth, and more.

Later on, when visiting Hindu temples, Prabhuji encountered the captivating aromas of Eastern incense used in devotional rituals. These unique fragrances were more than simply pleasing to the senses: they created the proper environment for heart-lifting and spiritual experiences.

Captivated by the yogic path of devotion, or bhakti yoga, he felt the deep divine impact that the magical scent of incense made in his soul. He then decided: One day, I will spread “the smell of God” all around the world.
Out of a sincere desire in his heart to share, Prabhuji sold incense in his first yoga studio at the same price he himself had bought it, having no business. This act inspired the establishment of Prabhuji's Gifts that is a manifestation of a loving bridge between Prabhuji's shamanic roots and Eastern wisdom. In September 2001, a manufacturer and wholesale supply company was incorporated in the United States. Over time, it grew in size, customers, and product variety, while holding onto the same spirit of dedication and service.

Today, mystical aromas fill the New York factory with spiritual vibrations. The company is run by yogis who are passionate to share with others the spiritual benefits of incense, smudging herbs, and attar oils. They infuse sacred mantras into colorful blends of natural resins, herbs, and oils that have been selected to calm the mind, purify the heart, and elevate the soul.
We now sell more than 70 different scents of incense sticks and resins, as well as hand-harvested sage, Vegan Certified perfume attar oils, meditation shawls made from renewable fiber and hand-printed by artisans in India, prayer beads and many other spiritual gift items.
